It looks like The Tortured, produced by Twisted Pictures, will reach the UK before it lands in the States. Play.com reports the film hits DVD on August 30. Jesse Metcalfe, Erika Christensen and Bill Moseley star in this revenge thriller which concerns a husband and wife who capture and torture the man responsible for killing their child.

A new promotional trailer for Twisted Pictures’ latest foray into revenge and darkness, The Tortured, popped up in time for AFM, and as always we’ve got you covered for a quick look!

The Tortured, from the producers of the Saw franchise, follows a young mother (Erika Christensen) and her husband (Jesse Metcalf), who decide that the criminal justice system hasn’t adequately punished the man who kidnapped their son. They formulate a diabolical plan to exact their own revenge and slowly realize that the best way to relieve their pain is to inflict some. How far will they go before “justice is served…?”

Bill Moseley also stars in the pic directed by Rob Lieberman (Fire in the Sky). Check out the promo trailer from AFM below.

There is now a poster released for “The Tortured”… You can see it to the left of this post.

“The only way to ease the pain is to inflict some.”

So says the sales poster for Rob Lieberman’s The Tortured. Pic hails from the house of Saw itself: Twisted Pictures. So the “pain” aspect to this advertising shouldn’t be all too surprising.

As Twisted’s Mark Burg told us here, the film is complete and looking for distribution.

In the film, Jesse Metcalfe and Erika Christensen capture and torture the man (Billy Moseley) responsible for the death of their child.

Director Rob Lieberman rolled cameras on The Tortured for Twisted Pictures (the house of Saw) last year. Besides a promo trailer which surfaced in April, we’ve heard very little about its release.

As producer Mark Burg tells us, the film is simply looking for a home. “We’re officially finished,” he reveals. “I like it. We just raised a bunch of prints and advertising money. [Co-producer] Oren [Koules] and myself are not generic producers where we go to a studio and they finance it. This isn’t how we run the company. So now we’re going to show the movie to a bunch of distributors which is the only way to really capitalize in the film biz if you do it that way. We’ll get started on that next week.”

Jesse Metcalfe (Desperate Housewives) and Erika Christensen star in the film as parents who exact revenge on the man (Bill Moseley) who kidnapped and killed their child.
